My family's first computer when I was growing up was the Commodore 64.  We had
the whole kit & caboodle including the monitor with built in speaker, dot
matrix printer, joystick and cassette drive.  Everything except the modem.

We had a few cartridge games (which I liked because they loaded instantly), but
we also had the cassette drive with a bunch of games loaded on several
cassettes.

I remember our local library had books full of basic code printed out,
including some games.  I remember spending way too much time typing these games
out and then saving the code to one of my tapes.

Later on after we got an IBM Aptiva (486 DX2/66) the commodore monitor was
moved into my room where I hooked our Super Nintendo up to it.  Not sure
whatever happened to the C64 itself.
